Girl in Melbourne: Sign, sign, everywhere a sign

Corner of Union Lane and Little Collins Street

Elizabeth Street. I've never noticed this one before. It caught my eye as I was backing up to take the shot below.

Newman's Chocolates? I love the use of the word 'removed' instead of moved and

that they felt a permanent sign was necessary to tell everyone they've shifted shop.

The wall in the centre photo looks like it has been recently exposed. Is it the Oxford Scholar at the top of Swanston Street? It is swamped by what is happening around it. One letter of an old sign has been exposed, S. I am guessing Fosters Lager.
